    • Hi, the Option 2 above does not need to root. CWM or ClockWordMod also does not need to install when we want to do hard reset using hardware button key. The CWM should only need to install when we want to flash the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with other 3th party custom ROM which we are not recommended to do because some wrong steps can make our Note can not use anymore.

    • Hi, please try to charge your Samsung Galaxy Note 8 when your table turn off. Usually slow charger happen because your tablet have hard work that make processor consume more power. If your tablet off, then the processor will off as well and the charger should normal again, unless if your charger hardware it self get trouble then your tablet will still slow charging even this tablet is off. If this case happen then you have to test replace with other Samsung Galaxy Note 8 charger. If your tablet can charger normally when off positions, then you have to do hard reset or reformat to clean all trouble maker applications which make your tablet working hard.

    • Hi, there are many Antivirus applications at Google Play Store, most of them free. The high rating review is the first steps to find out which one better for your tablet. Avast and AVG also recommended with free service, it will scan all installed applications and will give information which apps is suspected to uninstall. If you Minecraft Worlds is not malware or installed from official Google Play Store, then it will not remove from your Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

  14. Hi, my samsung gt n5100 is around 3yrs old. Recently, i charged it while turned off. When i turned it on, the applications had their own reset to factory settings. My data/cache from all of my apps the before have been erased. Now, it doesnt even let me use the stylus pen, or open the gallery, or open the play store! It’s actually useless now. It reboots by itself. It hangs when i try to open an app(that can be opened, ex. Youtube and message). It always displays “app” stopped responding and worse, process.media (etc) has stopped. It has done this before so i sent it under warranty to the samsung tech and got it back 2 months after on its first year with me. But now, it’s been 2 years after(and not under warranty anymore) and it suddenly went crazy after charging! I asked a tech guy and he said to reprogram it. I am not sure if i should believe him. Please help!
